The Deputy president William Ruto could be a marked man in the 2022 presidential race after recent cases of graft allegedly pointing to him.
In a growing list of politicians decamping from his side, Kitutu Chache South MP Richard Onyonka has vowed to stop selling the DP due to graft.
The legislator said DP Ruto’s name has been mentioned several times in graft the major reason that made him arrive at the decision.
“I had declared myself to chair DP Ruto’s campaign team in 2022 so that he can get to State House but, I have changed my mind because there is no way I can’t manage to sell someone who is corrupt,” he said.
Onyonka stated that he has tried to look for DP Ruto to advise him to go slow on diverting public funds to some individuals’ pockets in vain.
“I have been looking for DP Ruto to tell him that he is doing wrong but, I have not been able to meet him. He will find it hard in 2022 to clinch presidency because of the numerous graft allegations he is facing,” added the NASA lawmaker.
He appealed to President Uhuru Kenyatta to step up more efforts to ensure graft comes to an end in the country.
“Uhuru should seek help from Kenyans to fight graft which may end up derailing development,” he stated.
